To combat rising air pollution in the National Capital Region (NCR), Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath initially ordered measures focused on stubble management. These directives included ensuring the availability of agricultural machinery like balers, expediting tenders, and increasing field-level monitoring to prevent crop residue burning.

Following these local directives, Union Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Bhupender Yadav met with the Chief Minister to review broader air quality management strategies. The focus expanded to include curbing road dust through paving and mechanical sweeping, managing vehicle emissions via new electric vehicle policies, and controlling industrial pollution across eight NCR districts.
